When I worked on a dairy farm I had to replace my leather boots every 9 months because the moisture and manure broke the leather down.
Leather that is kept dry is very resistant to rot, leather that is allowed to stay wet is not.

I’m pretty sure that was because of its exposure to animal waste products which are acidic and not the typical environment leather is exposed to.

That would tend to suggest that it would also do alright in compost doesn’t it?
